Thru the Bible with Dr. J. Vernon McGee Amos 3:1-6
“Greater privilege means greater responsibility.” That’s what we hear in this study in Amos, as he continues to build the case against Israel and reminds them of their privilege when Abraham was called from the apostasy of the Tower of Babel.
Thru the Bible - Minute with McGee Dr. J. Vernon McGee
He Knows You.
“For, lo, he that formeth the mountains, and createth the wind, and declareth unto man what is his thought, who maketh the morning darkness, and treadeth upon the high places of the earth, the Lord, the God of hosts, is his name.” This is one of the most majestic, one of the most awe-inspiring statements that you’ll find anywhere. He is the Creator; He is the Omnipotent God. He has all power. He is Omniscient. He knows your thought afar off. And you cannot escape Him. He knows you today, and He knows all about you.

Daily Promises
The LORD lifteth up the meek: he casteth the wicked down to the ground. (Psalm 147:6)
Our Prayer: We thank You, O God, for the pleasure You take in humbling the proud and exalting those of low degree. Keep us from pride. Let us not be as the wicked, who conduct themselves insolently towards You and scornfully towards all mankind. Let us not be as those who lift up themselves in pride and folly! Rather make us further into Your holy image day by day as we trust upon Your sanctifying Spirit!
When We Look At Jesus

“There are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations.”

1 General Welfare: You’ve Been Lied to. Here’s the Proof....James Madison called it absurd to say Congress may do whatever it wants under the general Welfare clause. But that’s exactly how politicians treat it today – as a blank check for nearly unlimited power.

C. H. Spurgeon's Evening Reading (April 15th)
"Lift them up for ever." — Psalm 28:9
God's people need lifting up. They are very heavy by nature. They have no wings, or, if they have, they are like the dove of old which lay among the pots; and they need divine grace to make them mount on wings covered with silver, and with feathers of yellow gold. By nature sparks fly upward, but the sinful souls of men fall downward. O Lord, "lift them up for ever!" David himself said, "Unto Thee, O God, do I lift up my soul," and he here feels the necessity that other men's souls should be lifted up as well as his own. When you ask this blessing for yourself, forget not to seek it for others also. There are three ways in which God's people require to be lifted up. They require to be elevated in character. Lift them up, O Lord; do not suffer Thy people to be like the world's people! The world lieth in the wicked one; lift them out of it! The world's people are looking after silver and gold, seeking their own pleasures, and the gratification of their lusts; but, Lord, lift Thy people up above all this; keep them from being "muck-rakers," as John Bunyan calls the man who was always scraping after gold! Set thou their hearts upon their risen Lord and the heavenly heritage! Moreover, believers need to be prospered in conflict. In the battle, if they seem to fall, O Lord, be pleased to give them the victory. If the foot of the foe be upon their necks for a moment, help them to grasp the sword of the Spirit, and eventually to win the battle. Lord, lift up Thy children's spirits in the day of conflict; let them not sit in the dust, mourning for ever. Suffer not the adversary to vex them sore, and make them fret; but if they have been, like Hannah, persecuted, let them sing of the mercy of a delivering God.
We may also ask our Lord to lift them up at the last! Lift them up by taking them home, lift their bodies from the tomb, and raise their souls to Thine eternal kingdom in glory.
